Is it just me, or does the recent announcement by the County Council of the 'surface dressing' programme seem to favour certain areas?

I know the County Council is a separate organisation to the City and District Councils, but with so many County Councillors also being elected members in the District Councils I hope the powers that be at the County aren't using tax payers money to favour areas where there are seats to be won or lost.

It was delayed by bad weather, but the last time lots of additional money was magically found for this type of work and against massive cuts on other vital services was in the lead up to purdah just before the County Council elections.

Perhaps something that needs further investigation?
